The best part about being a furry, is that you get to define that yourself. If all you do is lurk about websites, make comments and save pictures, you claim just as much as someone who is on their third fursuit and goes to every event. If you feel like it, you are.

The real trick is to not get caught up in whether or not you are, but to simply enjoy the culture/works/community for what it is. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone get bent out of shape because someone else didn't agree with their definition for themselves.

Yes, you get to decide that for yourself. But the point you made, Mr. Cardinal, reminds me of an interview I read involving Dean Dodrill. He created a game known as Dust: An Elysian Tail. All the characters are anthropomorphic. Because of this, he got labeled as a furry. In an interview, he claimed of never hearing about 'furry' before he made the game. He didn't consider himself a furry, and he drew inspiration from old Disney classics and similar material. And he states the reason he made his characters humanoid animals was because he thought it was more interesting. He actually started out with humans for his game, and he thought it was boring so he changed it.
